The bm_readbody_bmp function in bitmap_io.c in potrace before 1.13 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
crash) via a crafted BMP image, a different vulnerability than
CVE-2016-8694 and CVE-2016-8696.

Notes

Author	Note
tyhicks	inkscape in xenial and earlier embeds libpotrace (LP: #1156664)
mdeslaur	potrace in inkscape works on bitmaps already loaded, not arbitrary images. Marking as not-affected for inkscape.
